There are many conservatives who are advocating for voting against today's Republicans because today's Republicans have been captured by Donald Trump, who has been captured by the Alt Right - who are racist, authoritarian, cruel, exploitive, and essentially un-American.
Max Boot, conservative historian, just wrote an article entitled "Vote against Republicans. Every single one."
Conservative columnist George Will wrote an article entitled "Vote against the GOP this November."
Former George W Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson wrote an article entitled "The only way to save the GOP is to defeat it."
There are many many more conservatives who are adamantly against Trump and his subservient Republican Senate and Congress who are all afraid of offending the offensive alt-right base.
As I have written before, I was a Democrat in the '60s and '70s, but a Republican from1980 until the extremism and cynicism of the Tea Party pushed me to register as an independent. Then Trump pushed me to become a Democrat. Today's Republican Party which refuses to stand up to the morally bankrupt Trump is itself morally bankrupt.
My conservative friends think that opposition to Trump is liberal opposition to conservatism. It's not. It's opposition to racism, hatred, violence, and incipient fascism. The Alt Right collection of KKK, neo-Nazis, racists, and torch bearing violence used to be on the fringes under Reagan and the two Bushes. They are in charge now, and a country as great and the United States must just say no to these white nationalists and white supremacists.
We are in a time of the crumbling of old institutions, but that doesn't mean we have to be in a time of domination by a racist and fascist morality.
